Book excerpt: Synopsis: A Jinx Called Joe is a semi-autobiography, based on Joe’s experience. ‘Jinx’ was the name that ‘the father’ assign to Joe, and the word has permanently been embedded in Joe’s painful memory. His life did not belong to him. Struggling his whole life since birth, Joe decided to survive independently. Lacking any support, Joe had to force himself to be brave and strong to overcome every uphill battle because he had no other choice. To escape from the abuse from ‘the father’, Joe had only two paths — committing suicide or risking everything to fight against ‘the father’. A Jinx Called Joe is an account of the struggle for the meaning of life and self-worth. With no strong literacy background, only sincere words and genuine feelings can touch the readers. Written by someone who was broken, the tale was born to seek to advocate empathy. Writing Style: This book possesses a unique writing style, inspired by A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers by Xiaolu Guo. A strong personality can be found in the first-person point of view. Some English sentences do not follow the grammar rules, with some Chinese writing elements.

Book Synopsis The Sweet's Price for Edenville and Other Stories of Black Gay Males by : Conrad Pegues
Download or read book The Sweet's Price for Edenville and Other Stories of Black Gay Males written by Conrad Pegues and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-05-08 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sweet's Price for Edenville and Other Stories of Black Gay Males consists of eight short stories about black gay males in the Southeastern United States and the ways they try to define their sexuality within a culture that can love them just as much as it can attempt to conscript them in a narrow definition of blackness and manhood in a long war against racism.

From the very young who may not know the word "gay" to the older who may run from that same word or try to define themselves within it, each is trying to make a space for an authentic expression of their humanity in loving and sometimes hostile personal worlds.

Book excerpt: The horrors of the Nazi regime and the Holocaust still present some of the most disturbing questions in modern history: Why did Hitler's party appeal to millions of Germans, and how entrenched was anti-Semitism among the population? How could anyone claim, after the war, that the genocide of Europe's Jews was a secret? Did ordinary non-Jewish Germans live in fear of the Nazi state? In this unprecedented firsthand analysis of daily life as experienced in the Third Reich, What We Knew offers answers to these most important questions. Combining the expertise of Eric A. Johnson, an American historian, and Karl-Heinz Reuband, a German sociologist, What We Knew is the most startling oral history yet of everyday life in the Third Reich.
Book Synopsis The Imperfect and Unfinished Math Teacher [Grades K-12] by : Chase Orton
Download or read book The Imperfect and Unfinished Math Teacher [Grades K-12] written by Chase Orton and published by Corwin Press. This book was released on 2022-02-14 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The system won’t do it for us. But we have each other. In The Imperfect and Unfinished Math Teacher: A Journey to Reclaim Our Professional Growth, master storyteller Chase Orton offers a vulnerable and courageous grassroots guide that leads K-12 math teachers through a journey to cultivate a more equitable, inclusive, and cohesive culture of professionalism for themselves...what he calls professional flourishment. The book builds from two bold premises. First, that as educators, we are all naturally imperfect and unfinished, and growth should be our constant goal. Second, that the last 40 years of top-down PD efforts in mathematics have rarely supplied teachers with what they need to equitably grow their practice and foster classrooms that are likewise empowered, inclusive, and cohesive. With gentle humanity, this book inspires teachers to break down silos, observe each others’ classrooms, interrogate their own biases, and put students at the center of everything they do in the math classroom. This book: Weaves raw and authentic stories—both personal and those from other educators—into a relatable and validating narrative Offers interactive opportunities to self-reflect, build relationships, seek new vantage on our teaching by observing others’ classrooms and students, and share and listen to other’s stories and experiences Asks teachers to give and accept grace as they work collaboratively to better themselves and the system from within, so that they can truly serve each of their students authentically and equitably Implementing the beliefs and actions in this book will position teachers to become more active partners in each other’s professional growth so that they can navigate the obstacles in their professional landscape with renewed focus and a greater sense of individual and collective efficacy. It equips teachers—and by extension, their students—to chart their own course and author their own equitable and joyful mathematical and professional stories.

Book Synopsis Requiem for the Massacre by : RJ Young
Download or read book Requiem for the Massacre written by RJ Young and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2022-11-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Longlisted for the Reading the West Book Awards NAACP Image Award Nominee for Outstanding Literary Work - Non-Fiction With journalistic skill, heart, and hope, Requiem for the Massacre reckons with the tension in Tulsa, Oklahoma, one hundred years after the most infamous act of racial violence in American history More than one hundred years ago, the city of Tulsa, Oklahoma, perpetrated a massacre against its Black residents. For generations, the true story was ignored, covered up, and diminished by those in power and in a position to preserve the status quo. Blending memoir and immersive journalism, RJ Young shows how, today, Tulsa combats its racist past while remaining all too tolerant of racial injustice. Requiem for the Massacre is a cultural excavation of Tulsa one hundred years after one of the worst acts of domestic terrorism in U.S. history. Young focuses on unearthing the narrative surrounding previously all-Black Greenwood district while challenging an apocryphal narrative that includes so-called Black Wall Street, Booker T. Washington, and Black exceptionalism. Young provides a firsthand account of the centennial events commemorating Tulsa's darkest day as the city attempts to reckon with its self-image, commercialization of its atrocity, and the aftermath of the massacre that shows how things have changed and how they have stayed woefully the same. As Tulsa and the United States head into the next one hundred years, Young’s own reflections thread together the stories of a community and a nation trying to heal and trying to hope.
